![]() ![]() I love the futuristic names! Maybe, in the future, robots would wear this polish. The colors themselves aren't that special, it's the finish that makes them. I don't remember what plate number this is- it's one of the "Special" plates- this one is the cowboy plate with the badge and the rodeo thingy. It's really bold! The only thing is that the two polishes don't get along well- stuff doesn't seem to want to stick to the matte- and the lines come off in whole pieces after a while. It looks amazing in real life, you have to try it for yourself! The glitter from Emerald Sparkle flashes through between the lines of the design. This is my favorite Konad I've done so far. Not the best picture, it was taken inside at night. Observe:Ģ030 over China Glaze Emerald Sparkle. I used two of these for Konads recently, and they turned out AWESOME. My favorite thing about chromes is that they are *perfect* for Konad. It's not a true mirror-look like Minx, but it's the closest I've seen in polish. This is probably the closest you can get to Minx without using foils. These are some of the most reflective chromes I've ever worn-much more reflective than the old Sally Hansens or Avons or Revlons. Actually, I think they look better without topcoat. As far as topcoat goes- I don't think it even needs it. You can put two coats of one of these on right before you walk out the door and be fine. You really could get away with only one coat with most of these- I did two. It's smooth and even and extremely opaque. These particular chromes, or Khromes rather, have excellent formula. I have ridges- pretty bad ones on some nails- and there is no hiding them in a chrome polish. Before using a chrome polish, you'll want to either buff out your nail ridges or apply one or two coats of a ridge-filling basecoat, or my recommendation- BOTH. Two, it shows every single flaw on your nail. One, it dries super, super fast so it's a good choice if you're in a hurry. There are a couple of things you need to know about chrome polish formula. ![]() The Romantiques also showed the brushstrokes in the polish, which the Khromes don't do. The Romantiques are reflective, but not as reflective as the Khromes. Just for reference, here's one of the Romantique chromes:ĭevotion. Indoors at night, under my kitchen light it looked like a pink-taupe and outside it looked grey. I wore this one for a while and noticed that it seems to change tones in different lights. A silver chrome base with a blue-lavender tint. This one kinda reminds me of an old penny- not so old that it's turned completely brown but one that is definitely not its former shiny copper self. It really doesn't look like much in the bottle, but when you apply it and it starts to dry, the mirror-like shine starts to appear and you just go "whoa." ![]() Hehehehe :) Of all the bottles that I would expect to break in transit, I'd never expect a China Glaze! They're so sturdy! I was shocked! But it's okay, I think my bottle of Hi-Tek kinda looks like a trophy: Very smooth and reflective, all of these chromes are super reflective! You can see how nicely decorated my bottle is. Hi-Tek is a bronzy, coppery warm toned chrome. Ahhh, I just love it when a polish name gives me an earworm! Better yet when it's one of my favorite songs! Anyway. the vectors in control, long live the new flesh. China Glaze calls this a warm gold, but you know, I think it seems pretty neutral to me. Still good for Konad, but the Khrome collection chromes are nearly mirror-like.Ģ030. These chromes are much different than the Romantique chromes. When I first heard that China Glaze was doing more chromes, my first thought was, "Oooh, Konad!" and then, "Didn't the do chromes already this year?"Īnd then I tried them. ![]()
